Publisher Marketing: No supernatural interference is needed to make you want to keep reading this book, its pages generate enough excitement of their own to keep you ravenously flipping.-- "The Comics Journal" Review Quotes : Otero's exaggerated forms (elongated and playful shapes for human, natural, and architectural figures) and unique page layouts give the work a modern yet eerie feel, with a palette of pinks, reds, and purples. The comic maintains an aura of mystery, and lands as a fresh take on ancient ideas. It's a wild ride.-- "Publishers Weekly" Review Quotes : Sole Otero's boldly stylized and kinetic artwork does justice to an emotionally complex story about witches, cults, riots, discrimination, freedom, and flight. Each character in the sprawling cast is visually distinct, as is each time period.-- "The Beat" Review Quotes : This psychedelic, disjointed graphic novel uses horror elements to confront living outside of societal norms, violence against bodies, and female power... Translated from Spanish with references to the Mapuche people of Argentina, this visually stunning, interwoven story is a worthwhile read for readers who don't mind coming away with more questions than answers.-- "Booklist" Review Quotes : Otero's style of illustration is often distorted or off-kilter, and highly detailed; in full color, her characters' facial expressions and contortions advance the unnerving atmosphere of the larger story. Page spreads may include carefully spaced panels or no panels at all; text style likewise shifts, with infrequent footnotes to help readers along. This results in a sinister, mysterious, and deeply compelling reading experience.-- "Shelf Awareness" Review Quotes : The narrative pace of Witchcraft is breathless and Otero's exuberant art catches the spirit of the storyline perfectly. There are consistencies in her work, particularly a taste for drawing blobby characters and the expressive use of relative size, but what really stands out in this volume is the variety of layouts, color schemes, and artistic styles she uses. Like the story, it's a wild ride but one that hangs together thanks to the consistent vision of the artist and the forward momentum she generates.-- "The Arts STL" Review Quotes : Sole Otero tells a story of needs and magic, with a dark humor I found curiously entertaining. This is a master storyteller, skillfully weaving contemporary themes (sex, isolation, social media) with darker undercurrents of female rage, human exploitation, and belief systems.-- "Geek Dad" Review Quotes : A literary fiction in a graphic novel format that is compellingly crafted with an exceptional artistic talent and storytelling expertise, " Witchcraft " documents Sole Otero as one of South America's most talented and original cartoonists and graphic novelists.-- "Midwest Book Review" Publisher Marketing :
